welovetrump--2020-06-24--Jimmy Kimmel Tape Surfaces Showing Him Joking About Sexualizing 15-Year Old Megan Fox

Believe it or not , he 's also under fire for performing in blackface in the past !
According to Fox News , many are blasting his reaction as a `` non-apology '' : Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was blasted for what critics call a `` non-apology '' addressing his history of wearing blackface .
On Tuesday , just one day after Fox News obtained audio of his 1996 use of the N-word in a song impersonating Snoop Dogg , Kimmel issued a statement to Fox News about his use of blackface during his tenure hosting `` The Man Show @ @ @ @ @ @ @ notably while impersonating former NBA star Karl Malone .
“ I have long been reluctant to address this , as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us .
That delay was a mistake .
There is nothing more important to me than your respect , and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke , ” Kimmel began his statement .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ me look as much like Karl Malone as possible .
I never considered that this might be seen as anything other than an imitation of a fellow human being , one that had no more to do with Karl ’ s skin color than it did his bulging muscles and bald head .
I ’ ve done dozens of impressions of famous people , including Snoop Dogg , Oprah , Eminem , Dick Vitale , Rosie , and many others .
In each case , I thought of them as impersonations of celebrities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the statement .
“ Looking back , many of these sketches are embarrassing , and it is frustrating that these thoughtless moments have become a weapon used by some to diminish my criticisms of social and other injustices . ''
While the `` Jimmy Kimmel Live '' host insisted that he has `` evolved '' since his days on the Comedy Central program , he claimed that his past use of blackface `` will be used to try to quiet me . ''
`` I won ’ t be bullied into silence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their oppressive and genuinely racist agendas , '' Kimmel vowed .
He added , `` Thank you for giving me an opportunity to explain and to those I ’ ve disappointed , I am sorry . ''
However , the late-night host was slammed for drawing so much focus on his critics he suggests are the real racists instead of reflecting on his own misdeeds .
`` People are n't 'feigning outrage , ' you disingenuous fraud @ jimmykimmel , '' Donald Trump Jr. told the ABC star .
`` We 're pointing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your lib friends always trying to cancel YOUR political enemies , but refusing to hold yourselves to the same woke standards .
This 'apology ' proves that point . ''
`` Kimmel went with the Weinstein ' I ’ m fighting the NRA defense , ' '' conservative commentator Stephen Miller reacted , referring to disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein 's initial response to the sexual assault allegations .
`` Spare us , Jimmy .
You 've called for the destruction of people for lesser offenses .
You think ' I know my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It was a joke , ' but you 've torched those who said the same exact thing .
You should n't be canceled , but the people before you should n't have either , '' The Blaze 's Jessica Fletcher wrote .
`` This reads a bit like 'how dare you hold me to the same standard the @ washingtonpost applies to randos , you racists , ' '' Hot Air senior editor Ed Morrisey said , invoking the criticized report about the Washington Post who recently targeted a woman who wore @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2018 .

This isn't Kimmel's only recent controversy.
Believe it or not, he's also under fire for performing in blackface in the past!
According to Fox News, many are blasting his reaction as a "non-apology":
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was blasted for what critics call a "non-apology" addressing his history of wearing blackface.
On Tuesday, just one day after Fox News obtained audio of his 1996 use of the N-word in a song impersonating Snoop Dogg, Kimmel issued a statement to Fox News about his use of blackface during his tenure hosting "The Man Show" in the early 2000s, most notably while impersonating former NBA star Karl Malone.
“I have long been reluctant to address this, as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who equate apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us. That delay was a mistake. There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I wore or the words I spoke,” Kimmel began his statement.
“We hired makeup artists to make me look as much like Karl Malone as possible. I never considered that this might be seen as anything other than an imitation of a fellow human being, one that had no more to do with Karl’s skin color than it did his bulging muscles and bald head. I’ve done dozens of impressions of famous people, including Snoop Dogg, Oprah, Eminem, Dick Vitale, Rosie, and many others. In each case, I thought of them as impersonations of celebrities and nothing more,” Kimmel said in the statement. “Looking back, many of these sketches are embarrassing, and it is frustrating that these thoughtless moments have become a weapon used by some to diminish my criticisms of social and other injustices."
While the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" host insisted that he has "evolved" since his days on the Comedy Central program, he claimed that his past use of blackface "will be used to try to quiet me."
"I won’t be bullied into silence by those who feign outrage to advance their oppressive and genuinely racist agendas," Kimmel vowed.
He added, "Thank you for giving me an opportunity to explain and to those I’ve disappointed, I am sorry."
However, the late-night host was slammed for drawing so much focus on his critics he suggests are the real racists instead of reflecting on his own misdeeds.
"People aren't 'feigning outrage,' you disingenuous fraud @jimmykimmel," Donald Trump Jr. told the ABC star. "We're pointing out the utter hypocrisy of you & your lib friends always trying to cancel YOUR political enemies, but refusing to hold yourselves to the same woke standards. This 'apology' proves that point."
"Kimmel went with the Weinstein 'I’m fighting the NRA defense,'" conservative commentator Stephen Miller reacted, referring to disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein's initial response to the sexual assault allegations.
"Spare us, Jimmy. You've called for the destruction of people for lesser offenses. You think 'I know my motives, and I'm not racist. It was a joke,' but you've torched those who said the same exact thing. You shouldn't be canceled, but the people before you shouldn't have either," The Blaze's Jessica Fletcher wrote.
"This reads a bit like 'how dare you hold me to the same standard the @washingtonpost applies to randos, you racists,'" Hot Air senior editor Ed Morrisey said, invoking the criticized report about the Washington Post who recently targeted a woman who wore blackface at a staffer's Halloween party in 2018.

Anyone who questions the legitimacy of a story is automatically called a racist, but many of these stories end up getting debunked.
Remember Jussie Smollet?
He's just another example of a "hate crime" that wasn't real.
The Daily Caller reports on Carlson's commentary of the incident:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson criticized federal law enforcement for allowing rioters and those who topple monuments to go free while sending 15 agents to investigate the “absurd” story of a noose supposedly found in NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace’s garage.
After days of wall-to-wall media coverage and nationwide sympathy for Wallace over the incident, the FBI concluded Tuesday that the noose had been in the Talladega Superspeedway garage stall since October 2019 and that no federal hate crime had been committed.
“Every few months, there appears to be new hysteria over nooses discovered somewhere off in a public place and almost inevitably, the hate crime we are warned about turns out to be fake,” Carlson said on Tuesday night’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” “The story has been told again and again and again, but our authorities never learn the obvious lesson, this isn’t a very racist country.

[...] “From the beginning, there were a few who expressed public skepticism,” he continued. “Bubba Wallace, who never produced pictures of the noose, had a message for anyone who questioned his story. They were stupid and they were racist.”
After playing a clip of Wallace criticizing those who questioned the story, Carlson turned his attention to federal agents and their priorities.
“The FBI bought the story completely,” he said. “They’ve done nothing to arrest the people who are burning police stations or tearing down monuments of George Washington, but the FBI sent 15 agents to Alabama to investigate the noose and, after days of investigation, they discovered the noose was in fact a rope with a loop used by work crews to pull down a garage door.”
“One of these nooses was present in every garage at Talladega,” Carlson concluded. “Once again, authorities rushed in to believe an absurd story because it could be used to advance a political agenda.”
The garage pull rope in Bubba Wallace's garage had been there since October of 2019.
Chances are that he never noticed it was there, and because of the heightened racial tensions, mis-interpreted what the rope actually was.

welovetrump--2020-06-25--“This is Madness”: Media Angry As Gun Sales Surge from Riots, Defund the Police, COVID-19

The media has appeared to be angry at Americans ' practicing their Second Amendment right to protect themselves and their families .
Multiple media outlets have covered the surging gun sales in a negative light .
An LA Times editorial referred to the surging sales as `` madness '' : Now for the most troubling part .
Since the start of the pandemic , Americans are buying more guns .
The FBI says it conducted a record 3.7 million background checks for would-be gun buyers , a loose proxy for firearm sales , in March as lockdown orders spread across @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dropped to 2.9 million but rebounded to 3.1 million in May .
The monthly average for 2019 — itself a record year for background checks — was 2.4 million .
So even as we get fresh studies connecting possession of firearms with increased risk of gun violence , accidental shootings ( usually by children ) and suicides , we are adding more firearms to the nation ’ s already numbingly large privately owned arsenal of some 300 million guns ( no reliable count is available ) owned by about a third of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bit of good news came Monday , when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a range of cases that could have further expanded the court ’ s ( ill-considered ) view of the 2nd Amendment , morphing the right to own a firearm for protection in the home into a right to carry a firearm wherever you go .
Many states already allow that as a matter of policy , which is dangerous enough .
( California generally bars openly carrying a firearm , and limits possession of a concealed weapon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , usually by a county sheriff . )
Even if people believe in a 2nd Amendment right to own firearms , it ’ s not unreasonable to ask that they support laws barring firearm access to those who pose a risk to themselves and others , requiring safe storage of weapons in the home , and other reasonable measures to try to reduce the number of gun victims .
And given the increased risk that the gun you buy today may become your own cause of death , you might want to rethink @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the first place .
A Mercury News article suggested that people are n't buying guns to protect themselves .
Rather , it appears to suggest that people are buying guns for suicide because of COVID-19 : The recent coronavirus lockdown caused a surge in gun sales in California .
There were 164,000 background checks for gun purchases in March — a 72 % increase over the month earlier and one of the highest months in the past two decades .
May was the third-highest amount of background checks to purchase guns and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
[ ... ] A depressed person buying a firearm should be a warning sign .
And anyone trying to assess or help a depressed person should ask about a recent gun purchase or intent to purchase one .
However , suicide after purchase did not account for all of the differences in risk .
Just over half of gun suicides occurred after the first year of ownership .
This implies that the person did not purchase the gun with the intent to commit suicide .
This study also could not assess the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ California .
Suicide can be an impulsive decision and many states have no waiting period to purchase a firearm .
It is possible that a 10-day waiting period actually saves some people from suicide as they might seek help or change their mind during that time frame .
While suicide is certainly an important topic , polls and surveys suggest that the vast majority of new gun purchasers are doing so to protect themselves and their families .

The media has appeared to be angry at Americans' practicing their Second Amendment right to protect themselves and their families.

An LA Times editorial referred to the surging sales as "madness":
Now for the most troubling part. Since the start of the pandemic, Americans are buying more guns. The FBI says it conducted a record 3.7 million background checks for would-be gun buyers, a loose proxy for firearm sales, in March as lockdown orders spread across the nation. In April the checks dropped to 2.9 million but rebounded to 3.1 million in May. The monthly average for 2019 — itself a record year for background checks — was 2.4 million. So even as we get fresh studies connecting possession of firearms with increased risk of gun violence, accidental shootings (usually by children) and suicides, we are adding more firearms to the nation’s already numbingly large privately owned arsenal of some 300 million guns (no reliable count is available) owned by about a third of the population.
This is madness.
One bit of good news came Monday, when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a range of cases that could have further expanded the court’s (ill-considered) view of the 2nd Amendment, morphing the right to own a firearm for protection in the home into a right to carry a firearm wherever you go. Many states already allow that as a matter of policy, which is dangerous enough. (California generally bars openly carrying a firearm, and limits possession of a concealed weapon to people who have been issued licenses, usually by a county sheriff.)
Even if people believe in a 2nd Amendment right to own firearms, it’s not unreasonable to ask that they support laws barring firearm access to those who pose a risk to themselves and others, requiring safe storage of weapons in the home, and other reasonable measures to try to reduce the number of gun victims. And given the increased risk that the gun you buy today may become your own cause of death, you might want to rethink why you believe you need a gun in the first place.

There were 164,000 background checks for gun purchases in March — a 72% increase over the month earlier and one of the highest months in the past two decades.

[...] A depressed person buying a firearm should be a warning sign. And anyone trying to assess or help a depressed person should ask about a recent gun purchase or intent to purchase one.
However, suicide after purchase did not account for all of the differences in risk. Just over half of gun suicides occurred after the first year of ownership. This implies that the person did not purchase the gun with the intent to commit suicide.

Trump Goes After “Lowlife Flag Burners” as Out-Of-Control Protesters Set Fire to Flag Near White House

The President 's tweet came after protesters set fire to an American flag near the White House .
Here 's the details on the situation from Fox News : President Trump condemned the burning of the flag Tuesday evening after protesters set fire to a large American flag that they had tied to a traffic light pole at an intersection outside of Lafayette Park , a few blocks from the White House .
Protesters also burned smaller American flags on the embers of the larger one a day after demonstrators defaced and attempted to pull down an Andrew Jackson statue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the protesters were successful .
Police held a line in front of historic St. John ’ s Episcopal Church after it was vandalized again Monday with graffiti .
The National Park Service announced the park would be closed Tuesday as it assesses the damage and begins to make repairs .
City officials and police also removed tents and canopies left by protesters attempting to set up an autonomous zone near the White House similar to one that recently turned violent in Seattle .
The White House and Lafayette Park have become a focal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for justice and equality after the death of George Floyd , a black man who died after a white officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes .

The President 's tweet has started a Twitter conversation over flag-burning :

The President's tweet came after protesters set fire to an American flag near the White House.
Here's the details on the situation from Fox News:
President Trump condemned the burning of the flag Tuesday evening after protesters set fire to a large American flag that they had tied to a traffic light pole at an intersection outside of Lafayette Park, a few blocks from the White House. Protesters also burned smaller American flags on the embers of the larger one a day after demonstrators defaced and attempted to pull down an Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Park. Police intervened before the protesters were successful. Police held a line in front of historic St. John’s Episcopal Church after it was vandalized again Monday with graffiti. The National Park Service announced the park would be closed Tuesday as it assesses the damage and begins to make repairs. City officials and police also removed tents and canopies left by protesters attempting to set up an autonomous zone near the White House similar to one that recently turned violent in Seattle. The White House and Lafayette Park have become a focal point for Black Lives Matter protesters calling for justice and equality after the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
The Supreme Court has previously ruled that flag-burning is protected as free speech under the First Amendment.

Hundreds of troops with the Washington, D.C., National Guard have mobilized to protect monuments in the nation’s capital, a senior U.S. defense official told Fox News on Wednesday. Interior Secretary David Bernhardt requested the action earlier this week, as protesters target statues and other historical markers during ongoing demonstrations in the wake of George Floyd’s police custody death in Minneapolis at the end of May. Protesters on Monday attempted to tear down a statue of Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Square by the White House, and defaced it with the phrase “killer scum,” Reuters reported. Berhardt said afterward that he visited Lafayette Square and witnessed the destruction. He said the country “will not bow to anarchists,” and that “law and order will prevail, and justice will be served.” The Lincoln Memorial and WWII Memorial were also defaced in earlier protests.

welovetrump--2020-06-25--Blacklisted for Blackface: Tina Fey “30 Rock” Episodes Pulled from Platforms After Outcry

There are at least 4 episodes of `` 30 Rock '' that are being pulled from streaming platforms .
But while `` 30 Rock '' has come under fire , other projects that Tina Fey has been involved in have also mocked racial stereotypes .
One of those shows is the Unbreakable Kimmie Schmitt .
Will that show come under the same scrutiny as `` 30 Rock ? ''
Variety has more details on the exact episodes that are being pulled : All of the episodes will be removed by the end of this week , according to a source @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some have already been removed from Amazon and Hulu .
The episodes will no longer air as reruns on television , and viewers will also no longer be able to purchase the episodes from on iTunes and Google Play .
The episodes in question are “ Believe In The Stars ” ( season 3 , episode 2 ) and “ Christmas Attack Zone ” ( season 5 , episode 10 ) , both of which featured Jane Krakowski ’ s character Jenna in blackface , as well as “ Live from Studio 6H @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , which featured Jon Hamm in blackface as part of an “ Amos ‘ n ’ Andy ” parody , and the East Coast version of “ The Live Show ” ( season 5 , episode 4 ) .
News of their removal comes as many content platforms are re-evaluating content for racial sensitivity .
Just over two weeks ago , HBO Max removed “ Gone With the Wind ” from its library , before re-instating it with an introduction from Turner Classic Movies host and film scholar Jacqueline Stewart .
Vulture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ news .
Of course , the great irony here is that Hollywood elites are the ones always telling us how `` woke '' they are .
If only the rest of us could be like them ... Well , now it appears that they are finally facing a reckoning of their own making .

Turns out even far left and "woke" Tina Fey isn't safe from the radical mob.
"30 Rock" episodes have been pulled from streaming platforms due to Tina Fey mocking racial stereotypes.
In these episodes, characters were wearing blackface.
Tina Fey tried to get ahead of the radical mob by reaching out to executives at NBCUniversal proactively to warn about these episodes.
But despite taking proactive steps to have the episodes pulled, Fey came under fire for making the episodes in the first place.

The failed Republican Presidential Candidate has had it out for Trump ever since he went hard against her in the Republican debates.
Now, she’s announced that when November rolls around, she’ll be filling the box on the ballet for Biden.
Here’s the report from the Atlantic detailing Fiorina’s announcement:
Republicans who say Donald Trump should lose in November but insist they won’t vote for Joe Biden aren’t being honest, Carly Fiorina argues.
Fiorina was a Republican candidate for president just four years ago, and was briefly Ted Cruz’s prospective running mate. Trump needs to go, she says—and that means she’s voting for Biden.
Fiorina is not going to keep quiet, write in another candidate, or vote third-party. “I’ve been very clear that I can’t support Donald Trump,” she told me, in an interview that can be heard in full on the latest episode of The Ticket. “And elections are binary choices.” She struggled with the decision, and whether to go public. But she said that this struggle is one Republicans need to have—including those who have rationalized supporting Trump despite their disagreements, because of some of his policies or judicial appointments.
“As citizens, our vote is more than a check on a box.

I think he’s demonstrated that through his life. And I think we need humility and empathy everywhere in public life right now. And I think character counts.”
Of course, Trump diehards will dismiss her. She has said over the years that Trump isn’t a real businessman, that he lacks character, that he is the definition of an autocrat, that impeachment was “vital.” But she’s not the stereotype of a Republican squish: Before her 2016 run, she was a Tea Party–type candidate for Senate in 2010 and the CEO of Hewlett-Packard. Four years ago, she voted for Trump—even after he’d been caught saying about her, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?”
Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who said she agrees with former Defense Secretary James Mattis that Trump is a threat to the Constitution, but is “struggling” with whether to vote for him, is putting politics over principle, Fiorina told me. John Bolton, who has said he hopes for America’s sake that Trump loses but that he’ll write in a conservative Republican, looks to Fiorina like he’s “desperately trying to preserve some position in the Republican Party as a conservative Republican.” As for Cruz, who’s turned into an avid Trump defender—she said she hasn’t spoken with him in years.

welovetrump--2020-06-25--Arizona Man Jailed for Defacing Statue at State Capitol

It ’ s the current mantra for liberals these days .
“ If we don ’ t like it , it must go !
” How many news reports have we seen in just the past week about statues being defaced , beheaded , and torn down ?
And these aren ’ t just Confederate statues !
Teddy Roosevelt , George Washington , Christopher Columbus – they ’ ve all fallen victim to the radical ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter crowd .
Now you can add a monument at the Arizona State Capitol to the growing list of destruction .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ was arrested and charged for dousing a monument in red paint near a Juneteenth celebration .
An Arizona man , arrested on suspicion of defacing a Confederate memorial at the state Capitol , said he acted alone and did it to protest racism and inspire protesters , authorities said .
Sean Brennan , 29 , of Phoenix , was arrested Friday near a Juneteenth celebration and charged with abuse of a monument and aggravated criminal damage/defacing a cemetery , KNXV reported .
According to authorities , Brennan doused the stone monument with red @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ I don ’ t want anyone to think that it was , like , the protesters who did it and take it out on them , ” Brennan told KTVK .
“ It was done before them , certainly , but not by them .
“ I did the right thing , I did the moral thing , it just wasn ’ t the legal thing .
We can not memorialize racism.
” While Brennan has participated in some protests in the Phoenix area over the past few weeks , he said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said he did not plan to participate in the Juneteenth activities in Phoenix on Friday , but said he decided to douse the statue even though he would be seen by many people — including the police , KTVK reported .
“ It was a calculated risk , and I knew that there was a 99 % chance that I was going to get caught , ” Brennan told the television station .
He was .
Brennan was taken into custody by Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers moments later , KNXV reported @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a little ridiculous , ” Brennan told the television station .
“ The cop who interrogated me said , it ’ s not like I took a sledgehammer to it .
I didn ’ t even damage anything.
” The monument , a gift from the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the early 1960s , was cleaned with a power washer Saturday , KTVK reported .
Brennan said he had no regrets .
Instead of going about things the proper way , which would include public debate and discourse , they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ don ’ t like .
Unfortunately , the Tucson Sentinel reports that Arizona administrator ’ s have decided to look into removing the statue : The Arizona Department of Administration is looking into what kind of process may be needed to remove a monument to Confederate soldiers at the state Capitol , but state law leaves the decision up to the agency ’ s director , and , by inference , his boss , Gov .
Doug Ducey .
For years , critics have sought to have the monument removed from the Capitol @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of George Floyd , an unarmed black man killed by a Minneapolis police officer in late May , thronged around the monument , demanding its removal .
And on Friday , a man threw red paint on the memorial in protest .
Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in a June 8 letter publicly called on ADOA Director Andy Tobin to move the monument from Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza .
She wants Tobin to transfer the monument to the Arizona Capitol Museum , which her office oversees , so she can put it into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to act .
He isn ’ t “ a fan of removing monuments or memorials , and certainly not because a letter was written , ” he told reporters this month .
Instead , he said there should be a public process if the monument is going to be moved , and noted that there was a public process that allowed monuments to be built and placed on state land in the first place .
That , he said , is something his administration will have to work on with legislative leadership .

It’s the current mantra for liberals these days.
“If we don’t like it, it must go!”
How many news reports have we seen in just the past week about statues being defaced, beheaded, and torn down?
And these aren’t just Confederate statues!
Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, Christopher Columbus – they’ve all fallen victim to the radical ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter crowd.
Now you can add a monument at the Arizona State Capitol to the growing list of destruction.
Last Friday, a man in Arizona was arrested and charged for dousing a monument in red paint near a Juneteenth celebration.
Fox13 reports:
An Arizona man, arrested on suspicion of defacing a Confederate memorial at the state Capitol, said he acted alone and did it to protest racism and inspire protesters, authorities said. Sean Brennan, 29, of Phoenix, was arrested Friday near a Juneteenth celebration and charged with abuse of a monument and aggravated criminal damage/defacing a cemetery, KNXV reported. According to authorities, Brennan doused the stone monument with red paint, the television station reported. “I don’t want anyone to think that it was, like, the protesters who did it and take it out on them,” Brennan told KTVK. “It was done before them, certainly, but not by them. “I did the right thing, I did the moral thing, it just wasn’t the legal thing. We cannot memorialize racism.” While Brennan has participated in some protests in the Phoenix area over the past few weeks, he said he did not on Friday. Brennan said he did not plan to participate in the Juneteenth activities in Phoenix on Friday, but said he decided to douse the statue even though he would be seen by many people — including the police, KTVK reported. “It was a calculated risk, and I knew that there was a 99% chance that I was going to get caught,” Brennan told the television station. He was. Brennan was taken into custody by Arizona Department of Public Safety troopers moments later, KNXV reported. “The criminal damage felony is a little ridiculous,” Brennan told the television station. “The cop who interrogated me said, it’s not like I took a sledgehammer to it. I didn’t even damage anything.” The monument, a gift from the United Daughters of the Confederacy in the early 1960s, was cleaned with a power washer Saturday, KTVK reported. Brennan said he had no regrets.
No regrets, huh?
Typical liberal mentality.
Instead of going about things the proper way, which would include public debate and discourse, they’ve decided they can destroy whatever they don’t like.
Unfortunately, the Tucson Sentinel reports that Arizona administrator’s have decided to look into removing the statue:
The Arizona Department of Administration is looking into what kind of process may be needed to remove a monument to Confederate soldiers at the state Capitol, but state law leaves the decision up to the agency’s director, and, by inference, his boss, Gov. Doug Ducey. For years, critics have sought to have the monument removed from the Capitol. Crowds of people protesting the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man killed by a Minneapolis police officer in late May, thronged around the monument, demanding its removal. And on Friday, a man threw red paint on the memorial in protest. Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in a June 8 letter publicly called on ADOA Director Andy Tobin to move the monument from Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza. She wants Tobin to transfer the monument to the Arizona Capitol Museum, which her office oversees, so she can put it into storage. But Ducey has no plans to act. He isn’t “a fan of removing monuments or memorials, and certainly not because a letter was written,” he told reporters this month. Instead, he said there should be a public process if the monument is going to be moved, and noted that there was a public process that allowed monuments to be built and placed on state land in the first place. That, he said, is something his administration will have to work on with legislative leadership. Whatever public process existed for erecting, altering or removing monuments ceased to exist in 2018, when lawmakers and Ducey eliminated the Legislative Governmental Mall Commission. That commission, which the legislature created in 1985, was responsible for reviewing and approving plans for monuments on the Capitol Mall. Legislative approval was required before a proposed monument could go before the commission. Now, once the legislature has approved a new monument, all authority resides with the Department of Administration, as does all authority over proposed changes. That includes the power to remove a monument from Wesley Bolin Plaza.

welovetrump--2020-06-25--Seattle Mayor Backs Down from “Summer of Love” Comment

Take a look at this report from Fox News where Katie Pavlich , co-host of The Five , absolutely blasts Mayor Durkin for her lack of leadership : '' The Five '' co-host Katie Pavlich described the ongoing situation in Seattle as `` insanity '' Tuesday after weekend violence in the `` Capitol Hill Organized Protest '' ( CHOP ) forced Mayor Jenny Durkan to pledge to dismantle the demonstration area .
`` Protesting is not taking over blocks and blocks of public and private property , threatening people with firearms and then refusing to allow the police and medical @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of your comune , '' Pavlich said .
`` I mean , it 's kind of a fake comune too , because they are asking for ... resources like shoes and food and water that comes from the very society that they claim to be getting out of .
`` But they were n't protesters from the beginning , '' she added .
`` They took over , unlawfully , blocks and blocks of property they do n't own and they do n't have a right to . ''
Durkan said Monday the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clear the CHOP area .
She also said police will soon return to the East Precinct building , which was largely abandoned after clashes with protesters earlier this month .
The dismantling of the CHOP followed the death of a 19-year-old man in a Saturday shooting in which another person was injured .
On Sunday , a 17-year-old was shot in the arm on the edge of the CHOP area .
`` As far as the mayor ... she was endorsing this movement from the beginning when President Trump said , 'You need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to turn out to be something very dangerous for your city , ' '' Pavlich said .
`` She brought snark into it and said , 'Well , why are you so afraid of democracy ? '
Her job as the mayor is to protect all of the citizens of Seattle .
And instead , she has been married to this far-left , Marxist narrative ... so that 's something that she 's going to be responsible for .

Well, it looks like now the mayor is realizing the idiocy of her earlier comment!
The mayor's revelation comes upon reports of shootings occuring in the autonomous zone.
Here's the report from Q13 Fox, the local news station in Seattle, on the mayor's recanting:
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan continues to be lambasted for a June 11 interview with CNN’s Chris Cuomo, during which she suggested the occupied protest around the city’s east police precinct could simply be a “summer of love.”
The remark has not aged well.
In the ten days since her comments on CNN, the zone referred to as CHOP (Capitol Hill Occupied Protest) has seen several serious and violent crimes, including an attempted arson, multiple assaults captured on video, and the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old.
Republicans – including the President – have painted the mayor’s remarks as tone-deaf, considering the public safety implications of what protesters call a “cop-free zone.”
“These Liberal Dems don’t have a clue,” President Trump said in a June 12 tweet, responding to the mayor’s comments. “The terrorists burn and pillage our cities, and they think it is just wonderful, even the death. Must end this Seattle takeover now!”
In an interview Thursday, prior to the deadly shooting in CHOP, Mayor Durkan acknowledged her poor choice of words.
“I clearly said that in jest, it probably was not the smart thing to do,” she said.
But Durkan said she believes critics ignored the totality of her remarks.
“It was not the best choice of words, but immediately after that, I clarified and qualified it,” she said.

The so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, which sprouted up on June 8, has been “unchecked by police, unserved by fire and emergency health services, and inaccessible to the public at large,” the lawsuit said.
While the plaintiffs would like to restore normalcy to the area, they stressed in the suit that the legal action was not meant to undermine the protest’s anti-police brutality and Black Lives Matter messaging.
The group said in the suit that on occasions they have been threatened by protesters for photographing them or cleaning graffiti from their property.
One of the businesses included the suit — auto shop Car Tender — said a protester broke into his shop on June 14, started a fire and attacked his son with a knife.
The father-son duo were able to detain the burglar, but police did not respond and other protesters forced them to release the attacker, the suit says.
The plaintiffs are seeking damages for lost business, property damage and deprivation of their property rights as well as the restoration of full public access.
